According to the Seattle Times and Associated Press, Seattle Supersonics guard Kevin Durant will be named the Rookie of the Year. Durant beats out Atlanta Hawks forward Al Horford and was the only rookie to average 20 or more points this season. Besides leading all rookies in scoring, he also led first year players in assists, free throw percentage, and was 8th in rebounding. Durant becomes the first Supersonics player to win the award and he is the first rookie to lead his team in scoring since 04-05 when Charlotte’s Emeka Okafor and Atlanta’s Josh Childress did so respectively.
